Shelflife presents the debut album from Russia's Life On Venus entitled "Encounters" on CD and digital format.
It all started two years ago, when we got to know each other - mostly while playing in other bands - and occasionally began to write songs together. There's five of us now, Dima (guitar, vocals), Sergey (guitar), Marat (bass), Aline (vocals) and Gulya (drums).
We used to gather in those small rehearsal studios and soviet-era dorm rooms, trying to shape a certain sound, close to that of the 80s and the 90s. In 2016, we managed to release an EP, "Distant lights", manifesting ourselves in the shoegaze scene.
We've been working a lot to develop this fuzzy, but still dreamy sound. Again, we've spent months in those ramshackle rehearsal studios, writing new songs and refining those we already had. Our first longplay album, "Encounters", was recorded almost a year after the EP. The process of recording was pretty easy though, most of the songs were done in a couple of takes. Then there were series of sleepless nights which Dmitry spent mixing and mastering the tapes, but it was all worth every minute. The record has got the vibe we've been looking and reaching for - the perfect blend of those noisy, a bit psychedelic sounds and dreamy melodies topped with subtle vocals.
